Installing Biztalk Server 2006

I am trying to install biztalk server 2006 Enterprise edition on my machine with windows xp professional sp2. I have installed all the prerequisites. Everything seems to be fine. But SSO(single - sign on service) is not getting configured. It is giving error (RPC failure). I really don't what is the problem. Any one faced this problem? What is the cause and what is solution please help.

I had downloaded the biztalk 2006 installation and configuration for windows xp. I followed every instruction showed in document...still i face error while configuring SSO... which is RPC failure. I tried alot of times but to no avail. Please help me out here.

Thank you for the link. But when i try to open the configuring SSO utility i face the same error i mentioned in the earlier postings. I dont see any SSO service running in the 'Services' tool. I think it must be there.

Steps needs to be followed while configuring BizTalk Server 2006.

Make sure you have installed the following things:-
1. Visual Studio 2005
2. Microsoft SQL Server 2005
Configuring Microsoft Sql Server 2005 server and databases
By default the server name is the name of the computer.
a. Expand the server name ->expand security ->expand Logins
b. Under Logins Create a new Login with the server name
Ex: - Server Name is ABCD\AMANDAVA

c. Right click your server name under logins select properties under server role select sysadmin checkbox.

Before installing BizTalk 2006 make sure that you have all the rights and permissions.

BizTalk needs you to have all the administrative rights on the computer

Here are the permission you need to have on the computer where you are installing BizTalk

Remove all the log files related to BizTalk.
You can also do this using Sql Server 2005(Here you need to delete all the databases related to BizTalk)
